Krista Squiers

Squiers' innovative teaching idea, “Environmental Adventures,” focuses on cultivating students’ abilities in areas related to basic survival, team-building, and real world problem solving through a 24-Hour Wilderness Experience. The Voya grant will provide the resources necessary to cultivate an intense classroom and wilderness problem-solving experience for students through a unique Environmental Adventures Project. Squiers believes that this outdoor experience will test and challenge students, and provide them the opportunity to develop lifelong skills that can be applied both within and outside of the classroom.
